Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
Effective Date: July 16, 2026
To ensure full transparency with our readers and to comply with federal regulations and search engine standards, jumpio.org provides this detailed Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure. The monetization methods we employ on our platform directly fund our intensive gameplay testing, high-quality editorial staff, and web hosting costs, allowing us to keep our deep-dive casual game reviews and curated lists free and accessible to all players.
FTC Compliance and Reader Trust
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, we want our readers to be fully aware that some of the outgoing links on jumpio.org are affiliate or referral links. This means that if you click on one of these links and subsequently purchase a game, complete a subscription, or sign up for a service, we may receive a small commission or financial kickback from the merchant or platform at no additional cost to you.
Our affiliate partnerships include, but are not limited to, gaming platforms, digital storefronts (such as Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), mobile app stores (App Store, Google Play), and subscription services.
How Affiliate Marketing Influences Content
We want to make one thing absolutely clear: our affiliate relationships never dictate, influence, or compromise our editorial opinions.
If a casual game is poorly designed, overly aggressive with microtransactions, or simply boring, we will give it a negative review, regardless of whether that game features an affiliate program or is hosted on a platform where we earn commissions. Our primary loyalty is always to you, our reader. We believe that maintaining your trust is far more valuable for our long-term business than securing a short-term affiliate payout.
Programmatic and Display Advertising
In addition to affiliate marketing, jumpio.org displays programmatic banner, video, and native advertisements throughout the website, served via Google AdSense and other premium ad exchanges. These advertisements are automated and target users based on browsing behavior, search history, and geographic location.
We do not directly endorse the specific products, mobile apps, or games advertised in these automated banner slots. We actively monitor and filter our ad networks to block malicious ads, highly intrusive pop-ups, and deceptive software installations. If you ever encounter an inappropriate or disruptive advertisement on our Site, please report it to us.
Sponsored Content Policy
Occasionally, jumpio.org may partner with a developer or publisher to produce a "Sponsored Article" or "Sponsored Review." In these rare instances, we strictly adhere to the following rules:
- Unambiguous Labeling: Sponsored articles will be clearly labeled with a prominent tag such as "Sponsored Content," "Paid Partnership," or "Supported Post" at the very beginning of the text, visible before the reader scrolls.
- Honest Assessment: We do not allow sponsors to write their own reviews or dictate our scores. Even in a sponsored partnership, our writer will provide an objective assessment of the game's pros and cons.
